The estate and the wine |

The 2024 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Bigote shows remarkable purity and freshness. From 60-year-old vines, it is aged with restraint, allowing the fruit aromas to shine. Its brilliant golden color leads into a delicate nose of star anise, fennel, and wildflowers. On the palate, the structure is taut and finely chiseled, with a juicy, mouthwatering texture supported by a gentle softness at mid-palate. A precise and digestible White, ideal as an aperitif or with freshwater fish dishes, and one that will develop greater complexity with a few years of cellaring. A favorite of the Selection Committee, rated 94/100. |
